Transformation of operations

Companies have to evolve continuously to increase their competitiveness, reduce production lead times, introduce new products with a high level of quality... What's more, transformation has become a way of life for most companies. The need to transform is reflected in major efforts. Yet one in three plans fails to achieve its objectives. A pragmatic, down-to-earth approach helps to avoid the main pitfalls of transformation.

Our approach

We propose a 3-step adjustable methodology to define and implement a transformation plan:

1

Integration and analysis


Collective awareness of identified problems

  • Evaluating existing initiatives
  • Identify and formalize problems through interviews at all levels (from operator to division manager, including support functions).
  • Analyze data to determine root causes of problems
  • Share findings and generate awareness of problems identified by all teams

4 to 6 weeks

2

Mobilizing teams and defining the transformation plan

Mobilize teams to prepare the transformation plan

  • Deepen analysis if necessary
  • Convincing operational teams and support functions that transformation is possible
  • Align operational teams and support functions on common objectives
  • Define solutions based on levers / areas for improvement identified with all teams
  • Set up project governance (managers, mobilized teams, project reviews) to steer the transformation

4 to 6 weeks

3

Launching and implementing the transformation plan

Implement the transformation plan and monitor priority actions

  • Communicating the transformation plan to employees
  • Define action plans for each lever identified with teams and identify pilot projects
  • Strengthening the chain of command
  • Deploy solutions defined with operational teams in the field
  • Set up operational reviews to steer initiatives
  • Adjusting solutions

3 to 6 months
